    As a lawyer you must obviously understand that the country wants to take all power and rights away from white people. That’s what Soros, the Bush’s, the Clintons, and Nancy Peloski want.

    actually, I wasn’t suggesting that there are more people of color today than in decades past. That is probably factually true as a percentage of the population. But it’s my fault for the ambiguity as to my point - I was trying to say your yearning for decades past might have to do with the fact that society has progressed and diversity is more visible everywhere - on TV, pop culture, movies, society generally - and that’s probably something you don’t particularly like. Things were better when they were whiter, more Christian, more straight, more nationalist. Right? (see what I did there with the pun)?

    I accept your surrender on the topic of CRT. You don’t know what it is, and you can’t show where it’s being taught.

    nor can you show how the 3 Rs are no longer being taught.

    Instead, you would rather accept all that as fact with not a shred of evidence, hope the rest of us do so, allow that boogeyman to fester, and allow that fiction to prop up your views.

    and thank you for ending with globalists. That is perfect. 10/10.

    the end.

    Yes, all of that, which of course is only scratching the surface. We are woefully undereducated in this country.

    "Posted on a website" of a school district's website is an odd way of proving that school board elections are well promoted and organized. You actually just made a great point as to why turnout sucks.

    No I don't think Democratic voters are stupid. I think the Democratic party does not organize and promote for school board elections mostly because school board election candidates are typically not affiliated with a major party, and are apolitical. It's only recently where right wing dark money groups are aligning characters as candidates.

    I think the Democratic party needs to organize better to at least make people aware of when elections are, and promote going to vote even if the folks on the ballot are not a part of the party. They cannot promote candidates not in their party, but they sure can do a better job of telling you NOT to vote for the obvious MAGA CRT candidate.

    Off year, and off normal November calendar election cycles are really hard to turnout voters for historically anyways. The GOP dark money groups in the past couple years have just done a really good job of organizing and finding their voters to turn them out in these odd off calendar elections. Dems and now the Forward party (as they have said they want to do) need to match their organizing capability, and at the very least let their voters know when elections are taking place so they don't have to put a calendar reminder every Tuesday to check these trainwreck websites run on a shoestring budget, and then have a blast trying to figure out where the hell I go to actually vote.

    You missed the part where YOU DO have options. Public education is a public service. You can also pay for more if you want to. You can pay for your own personal security even when you still have to pay for public law enforcement. It's the same thing. Here in Texas, like law enforcement, public education is funded by property taxes mostly. It operates like a public utility like firefighters, or the police.

    If you are trying to argue that public services shouldn't be public and should be privatized... yeah... that is about ideology.

    What do you know of the different learning modalities? What pedagogy differentiation do you suggest for teaching different students with different backgrounds?

    What studies have you read regarding students background knowledge and how it affects classroom learning? Have you seen the studies showing that students who become fluent in two languages do better academically than students that only are fluent in English?

    For the record, students still pass or fail, though there have been constantly evolving criteria and it isn't uniform in all places. The standards aren't changed for different students. What changes is the approach to teaching. It's called differentiation. It is different ways to teach students of all cultures, races, and ethnicities to meet the same standards.

    There is no single point of education. There are multiple points and having children practice socialization is a core part of k-12 education.

    Like your point is still silly even with the clarification.

    First of all, it isn't by design. Secondly, what is wrong with a more brown country?

    My point is that the Republican war on school curricula is non educational. I'm sorry you don't understand nuance. People need to learn to think for themselves, you included. THIS should be the focus of education. Socialization happens in schools, within the family, and in one's community, everywhere...

    Nuance? Do you want me to post your original comment in replying to?

    Maybe frame your arguments better or be more elaborate. You literally states that schools shouldn't teach "socialization". Of course they should. We want well adjusted adults that play nice with other humans. Don't we?

    My mother is a early childhood education teacher(pre-k) and I'm pretty sure like 90% of her curriculum she teaches is nothing else except teaching socialization skills thorough things like games.

    Always thought the pledge of allegiance was designed for that purpose also.

    I can't tell if its a public schooling or a private schooling that @raining threes is receiving today but it sure is fun to watch.

    and just automatically assuming a lawyer has no soul?

    @raining threes is like school in the summer.... no class

    No that’s not indoctrination because it’s Christian and their fairy tales I happen to agree with. So simple to see the difference.

    As for this getting back to the 3 Rs, that has never changed. But History is just as important to learn.

    When you lay down the facts humans have been complete **** to those different from themselves in basically every culture and country. This is why teaching and learning diversity is important so we don’t continue the violence and oppression of the past.

    Is that what Republicans consider CRT? Not sure how teaching the FACTS of history is somehow controversial.

    Maybe it damages snowflakes to learn that Columbus was actually a genocidal slaver only interested in gold and never actually stepped foot in this country.
